Haris Ibrahim memuji kejayaan Singapura sebagai “the wealthiest nation in the world by GDP per capita, beating out Norway, the U.S., Hong Kong and Switzerland”.
Dia memblog tentang Bangsa Singapura sebagai contoh pembangunan negara bangsa serentak satu dialog SABM-Hakam hari ini bersama wakil-wakil daripada tujuh parti politik — DAP (Hannah Yeoh), STAR/Sabah (Daniel John Jambun), SAPP (Benny Low), PSM (Sivarajan & Arutchelvan), PRM (Koh Swe Yong & Erick), PKR (Winstone Beltrand) dan Upko (dua orang yang tidak dinamakan dalam laporan berita oleh SABM).
Haris membandingkan kemakmuran Singapura berbanding dengan keadaan di Sabah yang papa kedana dan “kedaifan di Sarawak yang memaksa kanak-kanak kecil bekerja untuk menanggung hidup”.
Haris dalam posting di blognya memetik Lee Kuan Yew sebagai berkata:
(diringkaskan dan dihuruf-tebalkan oleh blogger ini)
- “We made quite sure whatever your race, language or religion, you are an equal citizen … and today we have an integrated society.”
. - “Our Malays are English-educated, they’re no longer like the Malays in Malaysia and you can see there are some still wearing headscarves but very modern looking.”
. - …if you chose … racial politics, this society is finished. The easiest way to get majority vote is vote for me, we’re Chinese, they’re Indians, they’re Malays. Our society will be ripped apart.”
. - “All are thoroughly mixed. Willy-nilly, your neighbours are Indians, Malays, you go to the same shopping malls, you go to the same schools, the same playing fields, you go up and down the same lifts. We cannot allow segregation.”
. - …don’t play race, language, religion. We’ve got here, we’ve become cohesive, keep it that way. We’ve not used Chinese as a majority language because it will split the population. We have English as our working language, it’s equal for everybody …”.
Sambung Haris: “And his [LKY’s] thoughts on where we went wrong?”
“Malaysia took the different line; Malaysians saw it as a Malay country, all others are lodgers, ‘orang tumpangan’, and they the Bumiputras, sons of the soil, run the show. So the Sultans, the Chief Justice and judges, generals, police commissioner, the whole hierarchy is Malay. All the big contracts for Malays. Malay is the language of the schools although it does not get them into modern knowledge. So the Chinese build and find their own independent schools to teach Chinese, the Tamils create their own Tamil schools, which do not get them jobs. It’s a most unhappy situation”.
Seterusnya Haris mengagumi Singapura yang bersih rasuah dan berjaya mengatasi Malaysia dalam segala aspek – “even as Singapore sits on the pinnacle, we languish at the bottom on almost all fronts” – sekiranya dibandingkan prasarana, pengangkutan awam, paras kemiskinan dan lain-lain kayu pengukur.
Menjawab soalan di mana negara kita membuat silap, Haris berkata:
“First, as LKY put it, we allowed Umno to divide us along racial lines and, when they saw the need, to pit us one against the other.
“Then, in my view, the NEP, quite in order conceptually, provided the perfect vehicle, from the days of Mahathir to the present, to facilitate huge and surreptitious leakages from the national coffers.”
Ulasan penuh boleh dibaca di blog Haris, ‘A glimpse of what might have been, but for Umno/BN, Mahathir, Pak Lah and now Najib‘.

Saya hanya akan menyentuh satu sahaja antara isu-isu yang dibincangkan Haris yakni semua budak duduk di bangku sekolah yang sama.
Haris membangkitkan ciri pendidikan di Singapura di mana bahasa Cina tidak digunakan sebagai bahasa pengantar (semua sekolah Cina diarahkan tutup oleh LKY) dan orang Melayu pula diasuh dalam bahasa Inggeris.
Pendirian Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia (SABM) – projek dan ilham Haris itu – nampaknya menyerupai Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua kecuali yang disyorkan bukan model sekolah kebangsaan yang kita sedia ada sekarang ini tetapi aliran bahasa Inggeris seperti sekolah mubaligh yang kita ada dahulu.
Pada Hari Malaysia minggu lepas, SABM telah menjemput Hannah Yeoh sebagai tetamu khas untuk menyampaikan khutbah kepada ahli-ahli mereka.
Di majlis keramaian Sept 16 itu, Hannah berkata, “I despise racism and I joined politics to do something about it” — dilaporkan oleh Selangor Times, ‘Walk the talk to fight racism’.
Adun DAP Subang Jaya itu adalah poster girl SABM, satu kultus yang nampaknya mengesyorkan 1Sekolah Inggeris.
Adakah DAP juga menyokong 1Sekolah?
Daripada tidak habis-habis mengiklan, mempromosi serta memasarkan personality cult evangelis DAP, elok suratkhabar milik MCA itu bertanya pada Hannah Yeoh soalan-soalan yang lebih bernas. Wartawan tugasnya sebagai pemberita dan bukan pegawai perhubungan awam (PR executive).
Soalannya:
Apa pendirian DAP 2.0, yang selalu menguar-uarkan Malaysian First, terhadap sekolah Cina?

Anyone who worships Singapore and Kuan Yew – God of No Mercy, needs to get their head examined. If in his mind the way LKY and family has been managing Singapore is ok, Haris needs to see a psychiatrist.
S’porean society more cohesive than M’sian tho?
Cohesive? They have anti foreigner sentiment because the china man are taking away jobs, if the chinese singaporean are feeling the heat, god knows what the malays amd indians singapore and feel when they cannot even get jobs at mcdonalds for not being chinese.
Pretty stupid that the idiot haris ibrahim forgot that singapore is more dictatorial than malaysia, malaysia at least allow space politically and economically for the minorities.
I wont be surprised if the budak bodoh haris ibrahim will praise the myanmar govt, these ingrates just love putting down their own people.
Cohesive in the sense that the Singapore minorities (Malay & Indian) got stronger S’pore identity than Malaysia minorities (Chinese & Indian) got sense of nationality.
(The Firsters want to conflate nationality with ethnicity, duh.)
“the china man are taking away jobs” and the white man taking away their sarong-party women?
Good points, forrestcat.
ouch Helen, be careful there. saying that the white man is taking away their sarong party woman is akin to insulting their pride.
here is my take. Singapore society is not as cohesive as we think. They too have anti foreigner sentiments. when the economy is doing well, when everyone has a decent paying job, you don’t hear about people complaining about this and that.
the moment when the economy is tanking, or when the ship is wobbling, these anti foreigner sentiments will begin to resurface.
the Mainland Chinese that came to Singapore a few years ago have now realized that the picture is not getting any prettier. now even the Singapore Chinese are calling them names. But the difference between Mainland Chinese and Singapore Chinese is that the Mainland Chinese have a lot of perseverance, when the going gets tough, they get going, whereas the Singapore Chinese, when the going gets tough, they will start whining, much like the Chinese in Malaysia, thus you hear them talk about migrating to Australia and/or New Zealand.
one of the best academic book I ever read abt racism and marginalisation of the Malay by LKY regime was The Singapore Dilemma by Lily Zubaidah Rahim. Perhaps we can have a balance view by reading this book…and one more thing that Harris forgotten that he and his colleagues won’t be able to stand free if they are Singaporean. How lucky is Harris and friends as compare to Singaporean oppositions like J. B. Jeyaretnam…pity JBJ….
Haris macam orang buta raba gajah. He holds the tail and declare an elephant is likened to a rope, Singapore is like Siberia, everybody knows where it is BUT NOBODY WANT TO GO THERE, itu pasal hari ini depa buat 2 casino
“macam orang buta raba gajah” that is exactly right. People like him always conveniently forget the negative sides of the story.
I don’t want to go to Singapre either. As much as possible, I will look at going elsewhere.
Singapore is just 2 hrs away. Go stay in Singapore and work there. The NEP was done because of 13th May 1969. That May 13th because of the vast disparity between our race. Almost all political parties formed BN, except for DAP. DAP has a big brother, PAP, so DAP stayed out, with Lim Kit Siang heading… till now.
Out of 10 staying in Singapore, 4 are foreigners. LKY wanted New York, so he got Singapore to be New York. If you like New York’s life, stay in Singapore.
I don’t like it. If having a meeting in Singapore, I will surely be back to KL the same day.
Do we have the Burmese Drug Lord staying in Malaysia.. No.
The super rich in Indonesia, digging all harta bumi Indonesia and sending all money to Singapore… No
All corruption money, siphoned to Singapore, especially from Asean… No
Pay corruption money ( USD 200m/yr for 10 yrs ) to a global container shipping comapany to stay put in Singapore instead of PTP… No
Everyone knows, Indonesia is mighty rich, in crude oil, palm oil, coal, iron ore, gold, bauxite.. all are big and some the biggest producer, but, the money are all there deposited in Singapore…. yes, their government concerns (staff, politicians) considered as among the least corrupt in the world… but, they are looking after the regional corruptors’ money. That’s why the ‘Kiasu’ attitude bestowed upon them.
Singapore has plenty of money, maybe half or more derived from Indonesia. That’s why the Indonesian are generally poor. Singapore can never be like Malaysia. We only accept money for projects’ approved, in general. If all ASEAN crooks pull their money out of Singapore, and not buying properties for children in Singapore, I can’t imagine the disaster. Or the 40% foreigners return to their respective countries …
Look at Dubai. That’s Singapore in Al Jazerah
Can we have our own Singapore? Why not.. Just identify, 75,000 Hectares of land in Johor, having a sea front. Give the area an autonomy like Monaco. Let all the crooks, scum-bags in the entire world to come and stay, partying all the time, with the speed of construction now, in 20 years, we can have our own Singapore.

The bangsar malays may feel so proud of their rubbing shoulders with the affluent other races, and may even fervently further their cause, butt little do they know that the very people whom they worship, deepskin wise within their hearts may not think so highly of them….in a reciprocal manner.
Nobody does for carpet mats…
the white men do not think highly of these Anglophile Malay, Anglophile Chinese or even the Anglophile Indian. As far as the white man is concerned, these people are not one of their kind.
This is how I describe them. These Anglicized Malaysians, they are like pets. You go to a pet shop, buy a pet, let’s say a dog. You pay the pet shop owner, get the dog, take it home.
when you get home, the first thing you do is clean the pet, feed the pet some food, you teach the pet some basic stuff and then you tell the pet what you want it to do.
the talk of Anglo schools etc, these are act similar to what I’ve described in the above. but of course, these Anglophile Malaysians have no idea what the white men think of them.
You got it right. White people wannabes really sadden me.
Penang is “dead” if we look to future massive growth. The sea is too shallow and, Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and north Perak do not have the capabilities to ‘push’ Penang. Penang alone is small.
Lagi-lagi cina sokong DAP bagi menang besar, tertinggallah Penang. Rumah, tanah terlalu mahal, sebab ramai yang nak beli. Sama juga dengan Kelantan, tanah mahal, tapi, orang Kelantan cari duit di tempat orang.
Johor east-south east is the best ‘new up coming growth area’. We can pick up all from eastern countries, China, Korea, Japan, Russia ( Vladyvostok ). And we carry goods via Java sea.
China is ready to come into Malaysia in a very big way. In fact, currently the 15-20 biggest china developers are in Malaysia. China big developers are very very big. They are followed by china big contractors as well. Setia Alam, in shah alam by SP setia, one of the main contractors is from China ( I heard more than one ).
You go to Subang Parade now, you will meet Mayland ( from HK ) in front of Parkson LG level. Mayland is developing a 225 acres in Broga Semenyih, a place not may Malaysian companies dare to develope. This place is near to the defunct Incinerator project.

“Singapura yang bersih rasuah”? LOL!
Haris Ibrahim epitomises the pro #Bebalisme #Pakatoons
memang benar Singapore tidak ada rasuah, sebab tak ada orang yang report kes rasuah kat Singapore. kan Kerajaan Singapore ni adalah Kerajaan Keluarga Lee Private Limited. seperti yang sedia maklum, Kerajaan Singapore ni Kerajaan authoritarian, chewing gum pun mereka ban.
balik kat Malaysia, kat Penang pun tak ada rasuah. Kan Guan Eng sendiri kata, kat Penang zero corruption. memang benar apa yang dia kata tentang Penang. kalau kita lihat kat Penang ni, Kerajaan Penang ni adalah Kerajaan Keluarga Lim Sendirian Berhad.

What a wonderful plan. Let’s ship him there post-haste!
Hannah Yeoh:
What a confuse idea, how can you develop one bangsa Malaysia with multiple language, worst of all streaming them from the tender age through their racial line and language. It is an illusion to expect them to grow and develop discarding their racial thought and feeling when they exist to the real world when others would be stranger to them.
Argument, that Malay & Indian also opting for SRJK(C) is very lame excuse to make the point that vernacular school are going in line with the development of bangsa Malaysia.
DAP are intelligent enough not to know that there no other to develop one Bangsa Malaysia other then malaysian must adopt one school system.
Mereka ni katanya menyokong konsep Bangsa Malaysia tapi mahukan Bahasa Inggeris sebagai pengantar dan sekolah2 vernakular diteruskan pula?
Saya yakin dalam pertemuan SABM-HAKAM itu pun pastinya mereka menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris dan bukan Bahasa Melayu sebagai pengantar. Bayangkan orang “saya anak Bangsa Sepanyol” atau “Saya anak Bangsa Thailand” memperjuangkan bahasa2 selain Bahasa Kebangsaan masing2, memanglah sangat aneh dan tidak akan mendapat sokongan bangsa Sepanyol dan Thailand.
Di Malaysia, inilah kesan daripada tidak mengasimilasikan masyarakat etnik Cina dan India ke dalam masyarakat dominan Bumiputera
actually, do the advanced countries like Japan, China and German use English in the schools?
Don’t they use their own native language?
Hence why should we “worship” English?
The bangsar melayu students or the only-understand-english-tongue students represent only a minority…
Why make the majority students suffer for a confined few?
Exactly, learn as many languages as you’d like, but please always remember that our national language should always be prioritize, especially in the national curriculum. Hence vernacular schools doesn’t have much reasons to stay actually..
I used to speak English bagai tak ingat dunia. I swear I had a British accent, though the closest I’ve been to UK is whenever I step in Marks & Spencer.

Oh Helen, I must thank you for this “amazing” piece of article.
On Tricia Y. That she is paid 18K a month speaks much of the snake oil industry. A person with no knowledge of economics, of finance, but who is well verse in the art of semantics manipulation can surely go places.
The opposition should stop talking about the oil royalty stuff. They should instead talk about how they can generate high paying jobs that can elevate the country’s per capita income.
They can start with the snake oil industry. As shown by Tricia Y, with a basic degree, well, she may have other degrees, if you start a cottage industry, you can actually grow it into something big. But of course there are others beside Tricia Y. Eli Wong is another one. Hannah Y too.
For someone anointed as the PM in waiting, that he’s taken for a ride by someone like Tricia Y. I m not surprised.
In fact, opposition supporters all share the same problem with Anwar. They are impressionable. Someone cooked up something intriguing and they all rise and say “GOOD”, “IMPRESSIVE”, “EXCELLENT” etc.
“A person with no knowledge of economics, of finance, but who is well verse in the art of semantics manipulation can surely go places.”
Stop! You’re making me see the dollar signs flying just beyond my grasp.
Kak Helen,
Tamadun datang dan pergi. Tiada yang kekal.
Sebanyak mana sebuah tamadun itu cuba dijadikan sebagai hebat di awalnya tetapi dipenghujungnya, atas pelbagai faktor, tamadun berkenaan rebah menyembah bumi.
Kalau tamadun semasa dan akan datang tidak ambil kira faktor-faktor yang menyumbang kepada kepupusan tamadun terdahulu, nasib yang sama bakal dialami oleh tamadun semasa termasuk Singapura.
Helen,
Separate schools literally separate us. Separate school is inherently creating communities divided by invisible wall.
It is all for us to see. I can see it in my daughters’s school. She is 16. She does not have many Chinese friends as these Chinese secondary students are unable to converse in Malay or English. They feel awkward in her presence.
HANNAH YEOH, tried to confuse us the issue of separate school with teaching of Mandarin. By all mean, go and teach students the other races languages. But it must be done under one roof.
As for Singapore, DAP wants to emulate it save the separate school system. Only a moron will still trust DAP.
Sekolah agama separates us.
Sekolah berasrama penuh separates us.
Sekolah elit seperti MCKK separates us.
MRSM separates us.
Kolej matrikulasi separates us.
UiTM separates us.
Now with sekolah antarabangsa doing away with their quotas, the rich kids will be separated from the poor kids.
Why keep pointing finger at sekolah Cina alone?
Bingo.
Sekolah berasrama penuh and kolej matrikulasi are multiracial..but not many chinese student there because these school do not take student from srjkc. My friend’s daughter, a malay who got 6As in her upsr at a srjkc, failed in her application to sbp.
I don’t think schools u mentioned are separating us…let say no mrsm and vernacular stays with national school, i believe my daughter will not have many chinese friend either..malay is the majority, how many school meant for them, they are still many of us will be attending national school meant for every race..
but when chinese go to vernacular school, how many of them will be attending national school?..i have a chinese colleague, an ex vernacular school student who admit that she have no malay friend until nw.. and she spend more than a year to learn to converse in malay well…
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But your Chinese colleague now got you as a friend and has learned to converse in Malay well already in just a year, so okay lah. — Helen
You miss the point. It’s the degree of separation that counts.
I agreed with you previously that sekolah cina should continue to exist because I agree with the status quo.
However I believe religion, location, class, race won’t separate us as much if we are able to communicate with one another using a mutually understandable language.
The only time I can see where two people of different classes/religions/races etc can communicate with spoken language is through body language.
However, body language is painfully ineffective. Even in the most optimistic of cases (ie in romantic situations), communication is still poor!
I know you may argue that the sekolah cina students can still communicate with the non-chinese. But I argue their level of external communication (ie with those outside their group) is much lower than people from a common national language school or even international school.
We need proper experimentation to prove if my theory is true.
Here’s a suggestion for you. Gather people for a party– 1/2 are chinese educated (CE), other 1/2 non-chinese educated (NCE).
Ensure that both sides consist ONLY of chinese males of similar profession (this would remove the economic/social, racial or sex factor).
Suggestion: Why not call a gathering of chinese journalists! You can call SElangor times and The star staff!
Allow them to mingle in pairs. Document the interactions they choose.
Somehow I am pretty sure the CE males will gravitate toward one another.
If possible, you can then repeat the experiment with CE malays and NCE malays. Then do it with CE indians and NCE indians.
It would be interesting to see the results!
You got a point about S’gor Times and Star staff being predominantly Chinese, hahaha.
There is a flaw in my experiment, which I thought you’d pick up.
It can’t be 1/2 CE chinese and 1/2 NCE chinese because then the pairings would be practically equal. It should be 1/3 CE chinese, 1/3 NCE chinese and 1/3 non-chinese (as a control).
Then see the interaction.
I think CE chinese would generally pair with each other. NCE chinese would either pair with NCE chinese or non-chinese, to prove they are more willing and able to interact with other cultures.
Anyhow, I think you get my point.
There should be more empirical evidence to support anyone’s theory!! We should be a country based on science and rationalism.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why do they need to “prove” they are more willing and able to interact with other cultures? Sounds like the liberal whites who need to prove that they can interact with blacks/Asian/Hispanics and thinking by that, they score brownie points (like our Anak Bangsar Malaysia poseurs). — Helen
Well, coming back to my ‘experiment’ idea. It needs to be conducted blindly — that is the subjects can’t know they are being tested on.
It would be a good idea to have it a ‘double-blind’ experiment, such that the person who calls the gathering (the host) doesn’t consciously know what the gathering is for,
As for liberal whites, I interact with them quite a lot. In my experience, even superficial interactions with liberal whites expose me to new experiences and information. This contrasts vastly with conservative whites who eschew any sort of interaction with people outside their comfort zone.
So which is better? IMO, some communication (even faked communication) is better than none.
Double bingo!!!! Okay now let’s see the justification flow at least in 2012.
Helen, nak hantar anak masuk sekolah agama?
Helen,
Because it separates us. They say call a spade a spade. The issue here is not Mandarin language. The issue is separate school system.
I send my children to Sekolah Kebangsaan in the morning. In the afternoon, they study Islam in sekolah Ugama. Which part of it that separate us.
Your children are in Sek. Agama in addition to and outside of the full-schedule morning schooling. I’m referring to the full-time Sek. Agama.
Singapore has one of the highest income inequality ratio in the world see http://www.rankopedia.com/Country-With-Highest-Income-Equality/Step1/19039/.htm. on GINI index. Imagine with only 5 over million people and you have such inequality. They want to be like the Americans, see http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/income-inequality-in-america-chart-graph. I chose M’sia over robotic S’pore anytime.
THE RIGHTS OF THE MALAYS ARE ENSHRINED IN THE CONSTITUTION…………….JUST LIKE ANY OTHER HUMAN RIGHTS.
“PENDATANG” TOO HAVE THEIR RIGHTS MENTIONED.
IT IS A WIN WIN SITUATION TO ENSURING A PEACEFUL MALAYSIA.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND YOUR BORDERS.

Hey Anak Minang, what is your border? Religion above humanity amongst Malaysians!!! like how you would gladly embrace the Indon, Bangla, Afgan, Middle East, Paki and eastern European to be a Bumi over the last 20 years besides the rest of us to be your Bumiputera.
Nobody is challenging the malay rights as we see it as part and parcel of being a Malaysian, but a Malay right is hijacked as and how it fits because the religion is used as an excuse even if Article 160 is in force.
Anak Minang, the Non malays born and breed in Malaysia are not pendatang, but forms an integral part of Malaysia and trust me, they won’t leave you hanging loose if humanity is at stake. How do you think your NEP in the 70’s came about if the Non Malays were not there to ensure that this is the right thing to do when they were in control of the economic? Don’t talk unless you know what you are talking about.
Anak Minang,
They say “It takes two to tango”.
All Malaysians have rights as enshrined in the constitution. It may not be a good idea using the word “pendatang” here. although there is no denying that some politicians behaves exactly like pendatang.
MALAYSIAN IN NEW YORK,
“nobody is challenging Malay rights..”. I am not so sure about that . what I know DAP is relentless in challenging Malays by questioning matters related to islam as an example.
As for Paki (actually considered rude to use the term), they are not Bumiputera. But in general the malays can accept them as these Paki whom you look down do not clash with Malays the way Chinese politicians from DAP does.
Enlighten me where they are considered as Bumiputera. I know a Pakistani who married a Malay lady in Salak Selatan. They run a restaurant in Batang Kali.
Anak Minang, i am pissed with you. Tell me how we the Non Malays have made it onerous for you. What the f..k are you talking about bordering. Have we in any way infringed a malay right!!! besides abiding and living for how we want to live with our Melayus.
If you think your Indon, Bangla, Afgan, Middle East, Paki and eastern European is a better option, tell us straight in our face that we have been to let you down just because you are a religious fanatic than one that is based on humanity at least for what we Malaysians are. Take your religious fanaticism somewhere else when you are unable to deal with real Malaysian issues.
OB, you say “There is a flaw in my experiment, which I thought you’d pick up”.
Are you the Messiah that we need to nitpick a great mind of yours that seems to have neglected the rest of us until now. Where were you all these years?
We know you know it all, but for many who don’t know it all need to live in reality and that is what we are talking about. Do you get it? You are great and omnipresence but you can do jackshit for the skewed Malaysians unless and until you can evolve from being a jacket potato. Sorrylah if I am being subtly sarcastic.
Subtly?
OB, no offense bro/sis, I am sure we all mean well for our fellow Malaysians minus the politics and religion driven agenda as Malaysians.

Actually, without the money from Indonesia deposited in Singapore, the republic would never have had enough money to loan its businesses.
Singaporean menyambut dingin terhadap berita ini kerana mereka merasakan tidak berbaloi untuk menjalani kehidupan yang terdesak dengan cita cita kerajaan untuk menjadi yang nombor satu dalam segala hal. Membaca dari tindakbalas pembaca singapura, mereka tidak suka dengan fokus yang mendesak ini.
Mungkin ia tidak mencerminkan pendapat majority rakyat singapura, namun untuk kita di Malaysia mengagumi ‘kejayaan’ ini adalah satu sikap yang tiada keyakinan terhadap keupayaan sendiri. Adalah amat malang kita berfikiran tentang masa depan negara adalah 100% terletak pada tindakan kerajaan, tetapi yang paling penting adalah tindakan setiap individu yang merupakan unit kecil yang membina negara itu lebih penting.
Daya inovasi, keusahawanan, moral, dan sebagainya adalah dibawah kawal selia yang empunya diri. Tidak payah tengok jauh, cukup kita disiplinkan diri jangan gelojoh dijalan raya dan ringan tangan membuang sampah merata rata. Tiada guna kita membuat sesuatu atas desakan undang undang, namun tiada keihklasan dalam hati…..
